X-Men: Apocalypse will have post-credit scene like most comic book-based movies released since the first Iron-Man film in 2008. The movie's executive producer Simon Kinberg has teased about a new male character in the scene, who could possibly appear in a number of movies, including future X-Men films and the Gambit movie.

"It's a nod toward potentially a lot of different movies," Kinberg told Collider. "I mean, certainly the Wolverine movie is related to what happens at the end of it, but there's also another character that's introduced, at least in name, in the tag and he could show up in any host of different X-Men films. Maybe a Gambit movie, maybe another X-Men movie."
